Finding the right gel pens is the key. The ones I am using are just OK, not great. I will keep looking. I keep hearing new pens are made, but have never seen anyone link to any that were not just old NOS pens -
In case some of you 1020 Plotter owners have not seen, RetroHax.net posted a very nice blog post on making new pens for the Atari 1020 Plotter https://retrohax.net/atari-1020-plotter-plotting-pens-replacement/ Here is more info on how you can make your own. First you will need to 3D print the Pen cases using the RetroHax.net STL files He used a Resin Printer, but I printed them on a FDM Ender 3 printer with PLA Filament I printed them pen tip side up, on a Raft at 100% infill For pens, i was not able to get the pens RetroHax.net used as I am in the US, the best I could find were these from amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07F814H3X?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details For cutting the pen inserts I made a 3D printed Jig for cutting them with a razor blade. You can download the STL file for the jig here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6497069 Clean out the hole in the 3D printed pen case with a 7/64th drill bit Push the pen insert into the case with a total length of about 23.50mm The amazon pens are cheap, and are gel ink, but they are not perfect.They require a bit too mush pressure to write all that great. On the flip side, another pen I tried drawed ok, but smeared really, really bad. I am on a lookout for something better, and will post here when I do If you find a better pen, please post it here.

I assume this is a pluscartSD? If so it is kinda rude to make your own name for it and charge $150, no? https://www.ebay.com/itm/166555205642

Alien Abduction, a new 2600 game from John Van Ryzin - (in VCS Store)
Fierodoug5 replied to davpa's topic in Atari VCS
Looking forward to a Cart Version of this game as well, really want to play it. Was really shocked it was not a priority for Atari to get a cart version out with 2600+ release.- 182 replies

Intellivision RTO-MultiCart - new multicart
Fierodoug5 replied to Rev's topic in Intellivision / Aquarius
@Tissemon and all other guys that had issue in RTO autoresetting, i attach a new version of RTOCart ino code that include a workaround proposed by @JaneDoe649 (thanks to her/him) on my github's page. It should work with both Inty I & II and with original RTOCart board (without any hw mod). Please feel free to test it and report if it fix your issue! That 1.1a code fixed the issue for me on my INTY1. Works perfect now without having to hit reset everytime Only issue I am having so far in I cant get NightStalker to work. Everything else I have tried has been working great Will mess around with it more in the morning Thanx for the Great project, it is awesome! -
